You must have a Banner ID and password (not your UMID and PIN used for SIS) to maintain Advisor Holds.

1. Open your web browser (e.g., Internet Explorer or Mozilla Firefox)
2. In the Address or Location field, type https://sis.umflint.edu/flint/holds.htm then press enter.

Registration Overrides: Registration Overrides are necessary in order to issue special approval to allow a student to register for a class they are otherwise restricted from due to prerequisites, consent of instructor requirements or waitlists. Signed Add Slips are to be used only after the semester has begun (when Web registration is closed).

An override constitutes signature authority. An instructor may issue an override only for his/her own courses via the SIS Web system, or he/she may designate a support staff member to issue the override within the Banner system. If an override is issued by someone other than the assigned instructor, that user must demonstrate his/her authority to issue the override on behalf of the instructor (a note or email from the instructor or department chair is sufficient).
